Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to computerized facilities to facilitate the exchange of information between service entities and people likely to enter into contact with said entities.
  • service entity is meant in particular the exhibitors or the like present at trade fairs or other exhibition fairs, the aforementioned persons then being visitors, member of the press and personalities likely to establish a relationship with said exhibitors.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks of the prior art and to propose an installation for the management of the resource "visitors" or the like in an exhibition of the trade show or fair type, which allows in particular greater comfort for the visitor and more high efficiency in exhibitor / visitor contacts.
  • a secondary object of the invention is to provide such an installation, which allows better control of the interest that visitors take to the exhibition in question.
  • the present invention relates to an organization comprising a set of service entities and a set of individuals capable of entering into contact with said service entities, an installation for creating, from a global file of information relating to each of said individuals, a set of sub-files, respectively associated with each of the service entities, on the basis of the relationships established between said individuals and said service entities, characterized in that it comprises: - input means for creating the individual files of said global file from information provided by each individual, means for associating an identification number with each file and for editing a personal badge comprising a support in which said identification number is encoded, a set of reading and data transfer units respectively associated with each of the service entities and able to record in respective memory units the identification numbers read from the badges of each of the individuals entered into contact with the respective delivery entities, and - Means for creating, from the content of said memory units and said global file, said set of sub-files.
  • the support provided on the badge for encoding the identification number consists of a bar code and the means for reading and transferring data comprise at least one device for reading bar codes.
  • an enclosure such as an exhibition hall for fairs, shows or any other collective event, public or private.
  • enclosure 10 there are a number of stands 12 on which service entities are present.
  • service entity is meant here any sub-organization of the event, and in particular exhibitors, traders, reception services, seminar rooms, survey or survey services, etc.
  • the enclosure 10 comprises a reception and entry area 16 and an exit 18.
  • the entry area 16 is arranged so as to be able to manage the access of two main categories of visitors.
  • a first category includes so-called "pre-registered" visitors who already have a personalized badge on arrival, and unregistered visitors, who must be identified and receive a personal badge during the access procedure, as we will see thereafter.
  • pre-registered visitors these are visitors who were before the trade fair opening date, for example in a "visitors" file from an IT unit.
  • the procedure consists of sending these visitors a letter warning them of the next show, as well as a form that they must return completed to the show organizer.
  • the latter upon receipt of the completed form, enters the information contained in the latter in the mass memory of a computer, in the form of an individual file from a global file.
  • Each individual visitor is assigned, on said computer, a unique identification number.
  • a badge is then issued. It may include the name of the visitor, a recognition symbol relating to the trade fair or fair in question and, in accordance with the invention, an information medium such as a bar code in which the above identification number is encoded mentionned. This badge is then returned to the visitor by post and kept by the visitor until he goes to the exhibition.
  • Visitors not pre-registered can go to the fair, but they will then have to complete a form identical or similar to that mentioned above, the creation of the individual file and the edition of the badge being carried out immediately to allow access by the visitor .
  • FIG. 2 shows a device for entering and memorizing information from the form and editing the badge. It includes a central unit 20 with screen and keyboard connected to a mass memory 22 for the global file. The central unit is responsible for assigning a unique identification number to each individual file created. The device also includes a printing device 24 which will receive from the central unit the above-mentioned identification number and for example the name, first name and company of the holder to print on a blank badge 26 on the one hand a code to bars 28 in which said identification number is encoded, and on the other hand a succession of alpha-numeric characters 29 (name, first name and company).
  • Such a device can be used both for recording and editing serial badges of visitors of the "pre-registered” type, as well as for carrying out these "piecemeal" operations in the entry area 16 from the living room.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in FIG. 1 in this zone 16 a recording sub-zone 16a, the reference 30 designating a device of the type of that of FIG. 2, on which an operator will be posted.
  • the arrows 32 indicate the direct route which will be taken by the visitors known as "pre-registered", while the visitors arriving without a badge will take the route defined by the arrows 34.
  • this access structure to the lounge may take any other form.
  • it may also include one or more counters allowing visitors to pay their entry fee.
  • each "visitor" file created in mass memory 22 may include, for example, the following information: - Name, address and telephone number of the visitor, - Company Name, - Number of employees in the company, - Company activity sector, - Function and service in the company, - Areas of interest.
  • the part of the device as described so far can also be adapted to manage different types of visitors.
  • information relating to the quality of the visitor ordinary visitor, journalist, exhibitor, senior personality, etc.
  • this information can be encoded in the bar code 28 of the personal badge 26 next to the identification number proper, or else be an integral part of this identification number.
  • the bar code 28 may contain ten encoded alphanumeric characters, three being reserved for the type of this visitor wearing the badge and the other seven constituting his identification number.
  • the installation according to the present invention further comprises, between the entrance area 16 of the lounge and the room 10 proper, an access control device schematically indicated at 36.
  • this device will have the task of verifying that visitors wishing to enter the fair are empowered, that is to say that they are holders of the badge and therefore that they have been registered, and on the other hand, to create a list of the people who actually came to the show.
  • FIG. 3 A first embodiment of this device is shown in FIG. 3. It comprises an optical pencil 40 connected via a decoding unit 42 to a central unit 44 associated with a non-volatile memory 46 such as a unit floppy disk playback / recording.
  • a decoding unit 42 connected via a decoding unit 42 to a central unit 44 associated with a non-volatile memory 46 such as a unit floppy disk playback / recording.
  • the optical pencil 40 is manipulated by an operator acting as an entry controller to read the bar codes of the badges of each of the visitors coming to the control, and the device stores in memory 46 the succession of identification codes decoded by unit 42, for the duration of the show.
  • the brief thus contains the identifiers of all the people who came to the fair in question, this information being able to be useful for example to update the file of preregistered visitors, in particular to eliminate from it visitors who show a lack of attendance.
  • processing means making it possible to associate with each identifier information representative of the date, the time, and possibly the frequency of the visits.
  • This type of information can be used either for statistical purposes or to select later from the global "visitors" file such or such type of visitor.
  • FIG. 4 represents an alternative embodiment of the device of FIG. 3.
  • This device comprises, in place of the optical pencil, a reading pistol 50 provided with a trigger 52.
  • the controller When the controller wishes to read the barcode of the visitor's badge, he triggers by the trigger 52 the emission of a LASER ray brush 53 of flat shape and intended to read all the barcode 28 .
  • This pistol device lies in the fact that it makes it possible to read the identification code of each visitor remotely, for example fixed on his chest, as opposed to the optical pencil, which must imperatively be applied directly to the badge, with a certain inconvenience for the visitor.
  • the decoding unit 42 may include validation means which, as soon as the code has been correctly read and decoded, will cause the emission of a sound or light signal signaling to the controller that the person can then enter enclosure 10.
  • Another variant of the access control device may include a barcode reader unit without operator, into which the visitor will insert his badge himself, reading the code triggering the opening of a device control system of the turnstile type or the like.
  • the main advantage of this solution lies in the economy of personnel, but in return, each visitor must detach his badge and introduce it in the reading unit to be able to pass.
  • this device can be used to report to a special reception unit, immediately after reading their badge, the arrival of important visitors such as high personalities or journalists.
  • An important advantage of this organization in accordance with the present invention is great security for the visitor: the information he has provided by filling in the form remains confidential at the level of the organization of the show, and if his badge is lost or stolen, no one will be able to get this information. Only the content of the barcode may be read, but only those authorized to access the global file, which will be advantageously protected by conventional methods, who will be able to take advantage of this content.
  • FIG. 5 It is of the optical pencil type and comprises a portable box 60 of generally cylindrical shape . At one end of the housing is an opening 62 associated with an internal optical barcode reader (non visible).
  • the box also houses, as shown diagrammatically by dotted lines, a central unit 64 also forming a decoder for bar codes read and a random access memory 66, for example with a capacity of several kilobytes, saved by an accumulator 68.
  • Such an optical reader portable backup is known in particular under the name "Datawand", manufactured by the company MSI, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
  • This optical pencil is supplied to each exhibitor (or only a part of them, depending on the organization envisaged) who can thus read and memorize the identification code of all or part of the visitors coming to the stand, subject of course the latter's agreement for such a reading.
  • such a box can ensure the storage of identification codes, for example over a day, or possibly throughout the duration of the show.
  • the memory medium 48 of the identification codes read and decoded may consist of any known device, such as a flexible disk (in which case will be provided in association with the central unit 44 a reader / recorder for flexible disks), or else a random access memory cartridge backed up by an accumulator.
  • the central unit may include processing means for associating with each identification code the date and time of the visit, as well as possibly the frequency of visits (in the case where visitor badges are systematically read at the entrance to the stand and that visitors return to it several times.)
  • Exhibitors whose stand is equipped with one or more reading and backup devices have, for example at the end of the day or at the end of the fair, an information medium (box 60, flexible disk 48, etc.) containing the identification codes of each of the visitors whose badge has been read.
  • an information medium box 60, flexible disk 48, etc.
  • identification data of the exhibitor in question.
  • the information medium consists of an integrated read and save pen 60 as described above and this pen contains in a read-only memory a serial number fixed once and for all, this serial number can act as an exhibitor identifier.
  • Another solution could consist, for example at the start of each day, of first loading, into the backup memory of the visitor identification codes, the exhibitor identification code, this being able to be done so very simple by reading the barcode of the exhibitor badge.
  • This solution is advantageous in that it prevents the visitor identification codes collected by the reader from being used by unauthorized persons.
  • the installation in accordance with the present invention comprises means for providing exhibitors who have collected visitor identification codes in the manner described above with a sub-file derived from the global "visitors" file mentioned above and containing the files relating to the persons whose identification codes have been identified.
  • FIG. 6 shows a central unit 70 with screen and keyboard, for example a microcomputer, which communicates with the mass memory 22 described with reference to FIG. 2 and containing the global "visitors” file, containing the files relating to pre-registered visitors and to visitors registered when they access the exhibition.
  • the reading means will include a reader / recorder for flexible disks, indicated at 72.
  • a reader will be connected to the central unit 70 for this type of box, a reader which is presented, as shown in FIG. 5, in the form of a housing 57 comprising an orifice 58 in which the housing 60 can be partially inserted.
  • Means of electrical, magnetic or optical communication (by connectors) between these two elements are provided, although not shown, on the one hand, for emptying the memory 66 of the optical pencil 60 in the central unit 70, via an interface 59, and on the other hand, for resetting said memory 66 to zero for later use of the pencil 60.
  • the personalized sub-file intended for each exhibitor may be presented either in the form of a listing of all or part of the data relating to each individual and contained in his file, either of a flexible disk containing said sub-file in an accessible form and exploitable by software of the type manager of databases, in the case where the exhibitor has the adequate computerized infrastructure .
  • the invention makes it possible to considerably simplify the relationships between a set of visitors and exhibitors, or more generally between a set of people likely to enter into contact with service entities made available to said people. Visitors do not have to repeat the tedious filling of a form on each stand, but a simple operation of reading the bar code of their name badge comes to replace this filling each time. This results in considerable time savings both for visitors and exhibitors during the show, but also later for exhibitors, who have an easily exploitable file relating to the contacts made during the show.
  • the various devices forming part of the installation will be appropriately sized of the invention and will be provided in any suitable number.
  • the badge could be of the magnetic type.
  • the printing device will be replaced by a writing unit on the magnetic track or tracks of the badge, and each stand will be equipped with one or more units for reading magnetic badges only.
  • Another medium that can be used for the identification number is the random access memory of a memory card. Likewise, it will be possible to provide, in association with this type of card, the appropriate write-only means and the appropriate read-only means.
  • an encoding type of information that may be well suited for the application of the invention consists of an optical coding known under the trade name "SoftStrip” (TM) in accordance with European Patent Publication No. 0216 859 and 0 218 634 on behalf of Cauzin Systems.
  • SoftStrip TM
  • a first example of extension of the application consists in associating with each identification code entered on a stand using an optical pencil or other, other information, and in particular information relating to the poles of interest. from the bearer of the badge in question, to the products which interest him, etc.
  • the first applicable when the identification code read on a badge is instantly transferred to the memory of a local microcomputer, consists in introducing, into fields of the memory associated with the code considered, for example by entering on a keyboard, data (for example numerical) representative of the poles of interest, products ,. .. specific.
  • Another solution which applies very advantageously when the badges on the stand are read by portable optical pencil with incorporated saved memory, consists in entering, after reading the badge, one or more additional bar codes provided for example on catalogs and encoding information representative of areas of interest, products, ...
  • extension of the present invention particularly suitable for the management of seminars and the like, consists of providing, on the badge of each visitor, in plain text or in an encoded manner, enabling data, indicating for example the references of the seminars in which the badge holder is allowed to participate.
  • an optical reading at the entrance to a seminar room will thus simultaneously make it possible to verify the holder's authorization to participate in this seminar, and to keep in memory all the identification codes of the effective participants, for example. example for the purpose of creating a sub-file similar to that provided, in the description above, to a service provider or exhibitor.
  • the invention can be used very advantageously when, in the context under consideration, surveys or polls are carried out. Indeed, it becomes possible to avoid entering by hand on a form a certain number of information which is already contained in the central database in association with the identification code specific to the bearer of the surveyed badge; two basic solutions can be envisaged in this regard: - in the event that the identification code appears in clear on the badge, in addition to the bar code, the investigator need only enter it on the form.
  • the information contained in the data bank for each code considered will then be associated, preferably at the level of the computer processing of data processing, with that which has been collected by the investigator; - in the event that the identification appears only in encoded form, in a bar code or other, then the investigator is provided with a portable reader which allows him to read the code of each person surveyed and either to view it on an appropriate display, then transfer it by hand to the survey form, or read a specific bar code carried by the survey form and associate these two codes in a memory of the portable reader for processing ulterior.
